Spring Creek Veggies

Riceville, Tennessee

Spring Creek Veggies is a family run farm which gratefully provides consciously grown heirloom and open-pollinated produce using sustainable non-certified organic and biodynamic methods.

Family Run – Every task on the farm is done with the direct oversight of Troy, Sharon, or one of their daughters.Gratefully Provides – They farm because they want to, and are happy to share with you the bounty of our harvest so that you too can eat nutritious, flavorful, vine-ripened food.Consciously Grown – Everything they do at the farm is done with intent, and in the knowledge of the effects of those actions on things greater than ourselves.Sustainable – They try to source all of our inputs from as locally as possible. We take into consideration how feasible each of our actions is over the long term.Heirloom and Open-Pollinated – They do not grow any hybrid or GMO crops. They grow varieties that have stood the test of time, not the test of a variety trial based on characteristics better suited to shopping at a supermarket instead of a Farmer’s Market.Non-certified Organic – They do not use any chemical inputs. They are not certified for two reasons: the first is that a for a farm their size certification is not economically practical; the second is that the standards for certification are written for large farms and are unable to address an individual farms individual situation.Biodynamic – Biodynamic is an organic growing method that has a higher emphasis on sustainability and uses specific composting and soil preparation methods to grow food of higher nutritional value.
